Questions:
I see the H.264 codec support, are we going to get any reasonable performance out of that, or should that be ignored?
Any reported Database issues between 7 & 8, or any reason what so ever to not upgrade after my current project?
Can Resolve 8 live alongside Resolve 7.0.3, to curtail any possible issues?

“Any reported Database issues between 7 & 8, or any reason what so ever to not upgrade after my current project?
Can Resolve 8 live alongside Resolve 7.0.3, to curtail any possible issues?”
I’m curious if anyone can answer these questions as well? Is it easy to import Resolve 7.0.3 projects into 8 to take advantage of the new features?

Hi, you should not have problems with it, but as a double backup, when you install 8, at login Resolve will see no 8.0 databases, just your 7.0.3 and will ask you if you want to upgrade. I recommend to say no, then use the new database management tools we put into 8 to make a backup of your current databases.
Once that is done, you can then select the 7.0.3 and upgrade it to a 8.0 or 8.0.1 database and all your projects should appear just as they did before. If you get in any trouble, you at least have the backup you made that can be restored.
